Pondering
Hi everyone .... I previously fished with my dad until he was no longer to do so .... After 20 years of non fishing I spent Bank Holiday Monday aboard charter boat.... Once again I'm hooked ! ... I have trawled the site and would like to ask for opinions ... I'm not seasick so don't need any tablets for that ... The advice I need is relating to equipment ... A quick look on eBay etc rods from 20 to 400 quid also reels etc .... I don't want to break the bank or turn up with tat when I next go out .... Any suggestions ???? To braid or go mono ???

Welcome to the forum.
Braid for sure!
A good lever drag reel, I use a Shimano TLD15, you can pick them up second hand for about £50-60, about £90-£100 new.
A 20lb class rod should do you, all about personal choice but I like the Fladen Maxximus solid carbon rods.Cheers, Keith. -
braid for sure
but not everyone likes it or can get away with it
go to flash fishing tackle and get 100 metres of 49lb break strain for 7 quid
then if you find you can fish with it upgrade to summat better
best advice i can give remember
theres tackle for catching fish and tacle for catching anglers
